TravelPod Member ReviewsRenaissance New York Hotel 57 New York City
This was a nice hotel with a cool bar, it had a really cosy fire and I liked the Shirley Temple cocktails. For kids they also had board games you could borrow, as well as really cool room service. We ate hamburgers and chips in bed, it was like being a movie star!

Historical Traveler Reviews Renaissance New York Hotel 57 New York City
Great rooms, great location!
My boyfriend and I stayed here September 8-10. I had read some reviews about rodents before coming, so was a bit nervous, but we didn't see a single rodent during our entire stay. We loved the hotel! The room was very comfortable and quite large by New York standards. We had a down comforter and a great view of 57th street. The bathroom was amazing! It was HUGE and had a really nice sink and shower. Our location was also fabulous. We were a short walk from Central Park and Rockefeller Center and near tons of great shops. I would definitely stay again - we really had no problems at all.
Infested with Rats/Mice
Imagine being awaken to the sound of a rustling plastic bag, and when you turn on the light a mouse jumps out of the bag and runs out! This is not an inexpensive place to stay, yet it is infested with rodents. I assume it was a mouse, but judging by the size it could have been a rat. When I surveyed the room I found droppings all behind the furniture, so clearly this was not an isolated incident. When I went through my suitcase, food I had stored was eaten. Horrible! I had a three night stay, and was given one night complimentary. They exterminated the room. I would never stay here again. If the hotel is under construction than they should close until they can prevent incidents like this from happening. Beware!
Do not stay in this hotel
I travel alot. almost every week im' travelling and staying in some hotel somewhere in the world. I have never stayed in a worse hotel than this. I was in one of the new rooms on the 7th floor. They are new rooms and the decor is fine. The bathroom was not clean - hair in the bath and on the toilet - obvious enough for me to notice as soon as i walked in. that night ther was construction work going on at 9pm i phoned down and asked for it to stop. It did, until midnight, between then and 4:30 i made a further 10 calls to the front desk asking for the noise to stop all to no avail. I wrote to Peter Jaques and asked to be assured that it would not happen again that night. (I have still not had a reply from him) I phoned later taht day and was moved to another room on the 4th floor - more hair in the shower. and a voicemail message left for the previous ocupant saying thet they would be moved to another room - sorry for the noise!!! - when i asked about laundryi was asked to bting it down to the front desk. In short this place stinks - they have no idea about service. nice room - super budget service. my colleague didn't even stay there - he'd booked the same room as me and was given one of the old rooms with a shared bathroom he slept at the office. Neither of us will ever stay there again out of choice...
I was there for 4 nights and paid for 1. rotten through and through.
Clean and quiet, would stay again.
Stayed for four nights, booked through the hotel directly, as they provided the best rate. Requested a renovated room and they gave me a 5th floor room, extremely quiet floor. Room always smelled fresh, a subtle scent of citrus. Linens were very clean, very fresh and new. Room was tastefully decorated in a minimalist contemporary design. Only drawback, the carpet needed to be shampooed (it had been vacuumed, but had stains). I would absolutely stay again. The staff was very helpful and very friendly.
Nice rooms - Good Location
Stayed at this hotel from Aug 29-Sept 2nd. The hotel was previously called the Habitat and changed name once the renovations started. Only five floors out the hotel have been completely renovated. Many more to go.
We booked a double at a discounted price on Expedia during their renovation stage. If you can deal construction workers riding in the elevators, the rooms are nice, clean and new. Even the bed duvet and linens are changed daily. NICE! Did I mention the bathrooms?
Location is good and many shops and subway entrances are a short walk.
Until the hotel is completely renovated, the regular rate is a little steep for what you get. Book the discounted rate on Expedia.
Will never stay again
Don't be fooled by pictures on the web...for the most part this hotel was awful. If you're looking to be extremely unimpressed and pay a lot of money, this is the best choice. I first booked for a private double that I could not stay in and moved to a "renovated room". They are tiny, no closet space, and expensive. You'll be more comfortable elsewhere, trust me. The renovations are noticeable everywhere and from the looks of the renovated room, it won't be anything to email home about when it's done.
Since I couldn't get a room at the Swissotel (my usual home in NYC), my assistant booked the "Hotel 57" around the corner. Top 5 reasons I won't stay here again:
5) trash bags stacked in the ground floor entry? ("lobby" is on 2nd floor)
4) phones didn't work (at all)
3) mouse in the hallway
2) internet access unreliable
1) waking up to a mouse (not the computer kind!) on my desk.
I didn't realize the hotel was under construction, so that explains the one elevator being spray painted with a plywood floor. The recently refurbished room was very nicely done, though very small -- and that was ok. Even seeing a single mouse in the hallway wasn't enough to make me leave after the first night of a 2-night reservation. I thought I was so smart because I stuffed towels under my door so that a mouse couldn't get in. Apparently there are other entry points, because I woke up the next morning to a scratch, scratch, scratch coming from my desk. As I turned on the light, I caught sight of a fat mouse escaping down the hole used for phone cords!
When telling the front desk clerk the reason for my early departure, he just nodded his head. Clearly he wasn't surprised.
Maybe things will be better once construction is complete, but be warned.
Special place to stay in a special city
best kept secret. For the price we paid, everything was over the top. Great staff, perfect location, brand new rooms with amazing bathrooms. This kind of luxury is unaffordable in any other hotel in New York. Good job!
Hotel 57 is a Terrific Hotel
We stayed at the Hotel 57 on East 57th st New York for 6 nights , the hotel is being renovated but without any inconvenience to guests. the rooms are brand new , flat screen tv , stereo , the best bed I've ever slept in .

Offensive Lineman Chooses Gamecocks
Jim Baxter
Talk about it in The Main Board
Columbia (S.C.) Spring Valley offensive tackle Quintin
Richardson has pledged to play his college football at the school where he wants
to help build a tradition. Despite the obvious difficulty in the decision, Richardson said
he is at peace about his choice and is following his heart to the choice that was best for
him - the University of South Carolina.
The 6-foot-4, 270-pounder was down to in-state schools South Carolina and Clemson and
long-time Palmetto State talent raider Tennessee. He also mentioned Maryland, the first
school to offer him, as well as N.C. State as finalists.
But it was the Gamecocks who have won� his future services and, according to
Richardson, it was because of the honesty and sincere approach that Gamecock recruiter
David Reeves took when building a relationship with the recruit.
"I wanted to make the decision that was best for me," said Richardson.
"I saw all I needed to see and had all of the information to make the decision. I
prayed about it and really feel that South Carolina is the place I want to be at for
football and also for when my football days are done."
Richardson has been hinting about an early commitment throughout most of the process.
Typically, prospects who commit early tend to go with the school that they are most
familiar with. In this case, that was the hometown Gamecocks. Richardson has been to
numerous spring practices and South Carolina's Junior Day event. That, combined with his
friendship with current Gamecocks cornerback commit Gary Gray
certainly made South Carolina seem like the favorite in his final list.
Look for more on Quinton Richardson in the coming weeks as we continue to follow his
high school career on SCVarsity.com.

I have a few out-of-town girlfriends visiting earlier this month, and this restaurant happen to have a deal that I couldn't resist. They don't take reservation but six of us were seated immediately and the wait staff was very patient explaining the menu to us. We tried the staff's recommendation, and everything is delicious - especially the chicken liver mousse, potato fries and halibut ceviche. I'll definitely go back again with friends.

Along with rocking her birthday suit in the photo spread, the Star Trek Into Darkness actress discusses her open sexuality.

The 34-year-old is also the cover star for next month's issue of Instyle UK, where she revealed she "worships mean" in her feature story.
"I believe in love because I had it for so long, so I know it's possible," she said. "I'm not one of these people who's going,'Oh, because I was with someone for so long I need to take a break.' What if love is just around the corner?"
We just love how Zoe is not afraid to embrace love and fault her natural beauty — her nude photo shoot is just the perfect example of that.

Elijah Wood's performance is my nominee for the Narrators' Hall of Fame. Wood's unself-conscious reading doesn't sound like a reading at all. He creates an entire world filled with people who cross class and color lines. His accents range from British to faux-British to all manner of regional affectations, twangs, and drawls. Wood's delivery makes Mark Twain's delicious wit and twisty language sound completely natural, especially as Huck invents plausible words to suit the moment. The journey down the Mississippi with Huck and Jim is pure pleasure, as the boy who won't be "sivilized" and the runaway slave encounter scoundrels, slip out of scrapes, and invent outrageous tales. The listening couldn't be better if Huck read the story himself.
Audible is pleased to announce the premiere of an exciting new series, Audible Signature Classics, featuring literature's greatest stories, performed by accomplished stars handpicked for their ability to interpret each work in a new and refreshing way. The first book in the series is Mark Twain's Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, performed by Elijah Wood.
Ernest Hemingway said, "All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn". One hundred years after its author's death, this classic remains remarkably modern and poignantly relevant. In this brand new edition, Elijah Wood reads Huck in a youthful voice that may be the closest interpretation to Twain's original intent. His performance captures the excitement and confusion of adolescence and adventure. Best of all, the immediacy of Wood's energetic reading sweeps listeners up and makes them feel as though they're along for the ride, as Huck and Jim push their raft toward freedom.
Stay tuned for more one-of-a-kind performances from actors Kenneth Branagh, David Hyde Pierce, Leelee Sobieski, and more, only from Audible Signature Classics.
Listen to more Audible Signature Classics.

Audiobooks have literally changed my life. I now actually ENJOY doing mindless chores because they give me plenty of listening time!
Huck Finn, finding himself stuck between the prospect of staying locked up with his drunken, abusive father or being taken under the wing of the Widow Douglas and her sister Miss Watson who want to "sivilize" [sic] him, decides to fake his own murder so he can roam free instead. He takes off on a raft and soon runs into Jim, Miss Watson's recently escaped slave, and together they go on a long adventure down the Mississippi river. I liked the beginning of the story where Finn describes his wretched father's ill treatment of him and his subsequent clever escape, but then wasn't much taken with the rest of the first half of the book about their times on the raft. But I'm glad I didn't follow my first impulse to give up, because the action that follows picks up considerably, when the two are joined by the "Duke" and "King".
"It didn't take me long to make up my mind that these liars warn't no kings nor dukes at all, but just low-down humbugs and frauds. But I never said nothing, never let on; kept it to myself; it's the best way; then you don't have no quarrels, and don't get into no trouble. If they wanted us to call them kings and dukes, I hadn't no objections, 'long as it would keep peace in the family."
This section of the book was filled with one hilarious mad caper after another; the last section, where Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer devise plans to free Jim, who has meanwhile been taken prisoner by *well-meaning* folk who intend to return him to his 'rightful owners', is just delightful. I laughed out loud at Tom Sawyer's insistence on coming up with the most complicated schemes so that Jim's escape would be like what he's read about in adventure novels.
The repeated use of the "N" word and references to slavery at first disturbed me, but the historical context of the story and Twain's obvious abolitionist stance made them tolerable in the circumstances. Elija Wood's narration brought the colorful dialects to life and was generally wonderful—definitely recommended
Christian, Texan, electrician, lover of reading-I lean towards Sci-fi/fantasy but enjoy the classics, history, and science titles also.
"A classic very enjoyably performed"
I would choose freeing, educational, and fun.
Huck of course. The youth is surprisingly wise and innocent at the same time allowing for some outrageous circumstance.
I am very pleased I experienced Huck Finn through Mr. Woods' masterful performance. His accent, cadence, and affectation of each character was a wonder in and of itself.
This young man was really treated poorly in many instances specifically by his Paps. By today's standards the boy would have been traumatized for life. All this he took in stride. Yes, I felt very sorry for him on more than one occasion.
I would highly recommend this performance specifically for the narration of Elijah Woods. However I will add it would be difficult to reconcile the use of the common term for black slave at the time to how I raise my children today. Although I get it I am afraid they might not.
"Great Story, Elijah Wood was great - recommended"
At first, I was thinking Elijah didn't create very distinct voices for each character, and it bothered me a little. He did speak differently for each character, but it wasn't a full-on change of voice as you might hear in other books.
Then as I listened, I realized Huck was speaking for all the characters -- telling what happened. We weren't supposed to be listening to the characters having conversations -- we were listening to Huck relating his conversations back to us, the readers.
And then it all fell into place.
Mark Twain is a great storyteller, and Elijah Wood really made it come alive. I always thought Huck Finn was a troublemaker, and was truly surprised to find out that Tom Sawyer was the instigator, not Huck.
The recording includes all the language as originally written by Mark Twain, and I truly think that is the right thing to do. It's how the people talked and thought back when the story was written, and you can't change that. All we can do is learn from the past and change how we act today.
I got so invested in how life would turn out for Huck and Jim. Elijah and Twain really made me care about them both.
I highly recommend this story to anyone looking for a "page turner".
"Good book worth listening"
Very good book. Well narrated! Thanks to Audible for having this in store! I would recommend this to my friends and family.
"Huckleberry Finn"
Elija Wood made Mark Twain's humor and dialect come alive in the multiple characters. He made it real and personal.
This was my first Mark Twain book and I completely enjoyed it. Mr. Wood's young-sounding voice was completely believable and I had no problem imagining I was listening to Huck tell about his adventures. My experience with this book far surpasses those I have had with any other audio book. Thank you Audible!
"Excellent even if you have read or heard it before"
This is truly one of the masterpieces of American literature and the narrator, Elijah Wood, gives an excellent reading of the work. His voice changes to match characters and the story flows along so well. I hated when it ended.
One of the best listens I have had from Audible.
I'm a web developer based out of Sacramento, I listen to books while I work, and love audible.
"Brilliant and hilarious"
Brilliant and hilarious, one of the few books I've read that actually had me laughing (hell the only book). Twain is brilliant, the way he can show how ridiculous certain things in society are.
Retired CFO, Army wife, Mom of five, Grandma of six, two sons who served in combat, love to read books that reflect my values and faith, love mysteries, historical, military stories, and books that don't waste my time . . . if it doesn't have an ending that was worth the wait, I'm not a happy camper.
"Great Narration of a Classic"
It's been decades since I've even thought about Tom and Huck . . . and what better way to meet up with Huck Finn again that this great performance by Elijah Wood. I thoroughly enjoyed it!
""Adventures" is spot on!"
Elijah Wood does a spirited reading of this beloved classic. You can't go wrong with Mark Twain. A fun book that is always entertaining no matter where you pick up into the story. I like to have this playing as I fall asleep at night.

We are bombarded once again with "support your schools" signs. In 2010, this community approved a permanent improvement levy. According to the Licking County auditor, it produced $1.6 million annually. That was not enough.
In 2011, we renewed an emergency operating levy and increased it by 2 mills. Southwest Licking Schools has had absolutely no consideration for other needs within the community. The district shut down a kindergarten center, negotiated with teachers to reduce class sizes and then went to the taxpayers crying overcrowded schools.

Rated 3 out of 5 by aw091316 from Free Product Trial From Influenster I have used temporary tanners before, however, I felt like this product made my legs look slightly more orange-y, and the color also rubbed off on clothing easily. I may purchase this product again, because it did look smooth and flawless (just a little orange). It was also easy to use, and a decent price (about $12). I trailed this product for free from @Influenster #AirbrushPerfectLegs #contest.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Amberlynn722 from Overall Great Product I got a $2 off coupon thanks to @influenster to try this out. Used the lightest color on my pale legs to prep for a wedding this weekend so I test drove it today. Color came out great. Skin looked flawless. Didn't love having to Scrub it off my hands but otherwise awesome! #ABLChallenge #Contest

Rated 5 out of 5 by Nalini from EXCELLENT - HAVE BEEN USING FOR YEARS I've been using Airbrush Legs for 2 years... I absolutely love it. I never need to wear panty hose again! I have pale skin and I stopped sunbathing when I turned 40 so my legs are white white white. I also have the great misfortune of inheriting varicose veins from my mother and grandmother. This product covers the ugly veins and gives a nice light tan to my legs. I spray it on the palm of my hand and rub it on my legs, from my toes to my you know what! It lasts all day without rubbing off. I wouldn't wear white paints with it though! If I wear white capri's I only do my legs from the knee down, but it does wash off clothes very easily. I use the Light Glow and highly recommend!

Rated 4 out of 5 by JustMissAsh from Works So Great! Should be called AMAZING Legs I love this spray! I got a $2 off coupon thanks to Influenster, and tried this. It was easy to spray on and it covers your imperfections like veins, scars, or makes them less noticeable. It dries fast and is waterproof. Perfect for a day at the beach or a date night. At first, I was like, makeup for your legs? Huh? But now that I've tried it, I'm so going to continue. No one knows but me and my legs look awesome. I sprayed on my legs after I had gotten dressed and then by the time I left it was dry and it didn't rub off on my chair or couch or my clothes either. It was nice. And I didn't feel all gooey or sticky. Just pretty. I can't believe I hadn't heard of this or used something like this before! Thanks Sally Hansen and Influenster for the coupon! I did receive a coupon for this product but the experience and opinions expressed in this post are my own unbiased opinion.

Rated 3 out of 5 by DesiVal from Airbrush legs vs the sun This product worked great. it was the first time i have used this product because i usually like to get a tan from the sun. but if you need a tan It's an easy way to get one. I recommend this product for anyone who wants a temporary tan glow or doesn't like sitting in the sun for long period of times. for an event or even simply for a daily use. I sprayed it on rubbed it in and it went on fine no runs but please you have to make sure that everything blends correctly. I received the product for free from Influenster and this is my personal review on it.

Nice rug, sheds a little
The rug looks quite nice... a greyish lavender and cream color. It did not smell great at first given that it is synthetic. Also, I have my office chair on it, and it sheds a bit. Otherwise, good value for the priceRead More
Just what I expected
I read other reviews on this rug and found that many of them said the grey was more blue/purple or periwinkle. I was actually looking for this color so I took a chance. I'm so glad I did. This rug is just the right thickness and the hook weave is beautiful. Many of my friends have already commented on how much they like it. I feel confident in recommending it to others.Read More
The Alexa Damask Wool Rug Is perfect
I bought this rug for my office under my desk. The rug is a low pile loop rug. The loops that make up this wool rug are really tight, they don't separte when the chair rolls over it. And there really isn't any long term "crush" marks after sitting at my desk for the day. The Design is crisp and sharp, bold but not busy. It makes a statement in the room but doesn't take over the whole room. My office is 11X11 and the rug I chose is 5X8. I had searched for several weeks on other sites and in high end furniture stores here in town. I can say this is the least expensive rug I found with the highest quality. With Overstock's impressive selection, low shipping cost and amazing return policy; I bought with confidence. I will definitely shop here again and again. Save gas and time... it's a sure winner.Read More

Availability Your dates are available
Apartment / 4 bedrooms / sleeps 5
|Key Info
The apartment can accommodate four to five guests having two double bedrooms and one single bedroom. It also benefits from a very large reception/dining area, a small but practical fitted kitchen and, a bright clean bathroom. The Mezzanine floor houses one of the single beds along with a second seating area with comfortable sofa, table and reading lamp.
The near floor to ceiling windows of the apartment look directly out to the square and some of Cortona's historic charm and beauty are always in view and give lots of natural light.
Tuscan cuisine is a real pleasure - from simple fresh Crostinii to the local and famous Fiorentino steaks. Everything tastes so good, fresh and fabulous. Around Cortona there are many wonderful restaurants and bars where you can have breakfast or dinner - although, there is also a kitchen should you wish to prepare an authentic pasta or simple Tuscan Crostini.
Then, there is the wine. Tuscan wines are famous throughout the world - always with a strong presence in the top 100- wines of the world. However, there is no need to spend a fortune, there are many fantastic local wines which you will probably want to buy and take home - they really are that good!
Besides the beauty of Cortona and the tranquility close by near the monastery of La Celle, within a hours drive, you find some of the loveliest and famous Tuscan towns are easy to find including Pienza, Montepulciano, Montalcino, Arezzo and, in Umbria a visit to Assisi and the Lake of Tresimeno are well worth a visit.
And, there is a train station with trains to Florence (1 hour 12), Perugia, and even Rome !

"The perfect location in Tuscany"
The perfect location in Tuscany. We visited many other towns but Cortona felt like home, warm and welcoming. Our view over the main square and central location made our stay easy and engaged. The home easily held the five of us and we could have had two more. Well appointed, plenty of hot water, and plenty of light. We will be back.

TOS: Spock Must Die! by James Blish Review Thread (Spoilers!)

Re: TOS: Spock Must Die! by James Blish [SPOILERS]
rfmcdpei wrote:
Spock Must Die!
has a good story, its narrative dominated by the compelling philosophical question about the nature of individuality in an era of matter duplication and an exciting astropolitics of battle against the Klingons, stitched together by plausible-sounding physics.
Hmm, I found the physics to be highly implausible, at least in one key area. The rationale for tachyons as the particles of thought was ridiculous. We don't imagine distant objects by sending FTL particles to get a radar picture of them, or remember things in the past by sending particles back through time. We store memories in our brains and we imagine things based on information and concepts already in our memories. Otherwise we'd always remember or imagine everything perfectly, which certainly isn't the case. I've always found that claim in the book to be one of the most preposterous things I've ever seen proposed in an SF novel.
In other respects, Blish's writing betrays the attitude of his times somewhat, specifically in terms of gender, most notably when the female crew are imagined by Blish's Kirk to be fascinated sexually by Spock.
Well, that was just a reflection of the fact that female viewers of the show were fascinated sexually by Spock. He was a huge sex symbol at the time, and this got a lot of attention in the media, probably more than any other aspect of the show. So I don't think Blish was projecting any sexist assumptions onto things; he was just reflecting the reality he perceived, namely that Spock was fascinating to women.
Still, I have picked up on two references in later novels, the first possible and the second almost certain, both in Duane novels.
* The Hilbert space with energies that one Spock taps to an improvised warp drive sounds much like the De Sitter space accessed by K't'lk in
The Wounded Sky
and Duane's later novels.
That wasn't a
Spock Must Die!
reference. Rather,
Hilbert space
de Sitter space
are both concepts from real theoretical physics. They're similar in that they're both generalizable to an unlimited number of dimensions.
* More compellingly, in
Spock's World
Kirk comes across a posting by Uhura in the ship's BBS
for tourist dictionaries in a variety of languages, including one for the Dalton recension of the Eurish language of James Joyce that Uhura used to communicate with Starfleet Command.
Couldn't they both have been independently referencing Joyce?
